Speak in Lyrics

[Selenay]

It doesn't matter what you do
And hey, it doesn't matter what you say...



Just say it in lyrics.
Otherwise known as the lyrical appreciation thread.

[Selenay]

Fill my cup again
To the fucking rim

As good as it gets:
I want the sunshine, champagne all the time
I'll live on Wine and Roses, so hold me closer
If I don't break a sweat,
It ain't as good as it gets.

[violaine]

- if there is anyone who is in the sun
will you help me to understand
’cause I been caught in between all I wish for and all I need
maybe you’re not even sure what it’s for
any more than me -

[Selenay]

Every story, tale or memoir
Every saga or romance
Whether true or fabricated
Whether planned or happenstance

Whether sweeping through the ages
Casting centuries aside
Or a hurried brief recital
Just a thirty-minute ride

Whether bright or melancholy
Rough and ready, finely spun
Whether with a thousand players
Or a lonely cast of one

Every story, new or ancient
Bagatelle or work of art
All are tales of human failing
All are tales of love.

[daisygrrl]

Head under water
And they tell me to breathe easy for a while
The breathing gets harder, even I know that

You made room for me, but it's too soon to see
If I'm happy in your hands
I'm unusually hard to hold on to

Blank stares at blank pages
No easy way to say this
You mean well, but you make this hard on me

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you asked for it
'Cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you tell me it's make or breaking this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving
I'mma need a better reason to write you a love song today

[Selenay]

The book of love is long and boring
No one can lift the damn thing
It's full of charts and facts and figures and instructions for dancing
But I
I love it when you read to me
And you
You can read me anything

The book of love has music in it
In fact that's where music comes from
Some of it is just transcendental
Some of it is just really dumb
But I
I love it when you sing to me
And you
You can sing me anything

The book of love is long and boring
And written very long ago
It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes
And things we're all too young to know
But I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings

[daisygrrl]

Walked out, goodbye
I swore I never would cry
Tore a page of my heart
She wants me to be her friend
I'm lonely again
Tore a page of my heart

Oh, tell me who wrote the book of love
Was it somebody from above
(Ha, ha, ha)
Surely he must know all the rules
(Ha, ha, ha)
Knowledge not meant for mortal fools
Must have been someone from above
Tell me, who wrote the book of love

[violaine]

you are a book for me to read
line after line I read on and on
you are a film for me to see
a string of frames that just goes on and on and on

and of all the places that I've been
name after name, it just goes on and on
you are a song for me to sing
a string of verses that goes on and on and on

:hanging:

[Selenay]

She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there's a time to change,
Since the return from her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like June. . .

Now that she's back from that soul vacation
Tracing her way through the constellation,
She checks out Mozart while she does Tae-Bo,
Reminds me that there's room to grow. . .

But tell me, did the wind sweep you off your feet?
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back to the Milky Way?

And tell me, did Venus blow your mind?
Was it everything you wanted to find?
Well, then you missed me while you were looking for yourself out there.

Can you imagine:
No love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you
Even when I know you're wrong?

Can you imagine:
No first dance, freeze-dried romance
Five-hour phone conversation
The best soy latte that you ever had, and me?

[daisygrrl]

I believe the children are our are future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone to fulfill my needs
A lonely place to be
So I learned to depend on me

I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all

[Bard]

Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor
Reachin’ for the phone ‘cause I can’t fight it anymore
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time

It’s a quarter after one
I’m all alone
And I need you now
Said I wouldn’t call
But I’ve lost all control
And I need you now
And I don’t know how I can do without
I just need you now

Another shot of whiskey, can’t stop looking at the door
Wishing you’d come sweeping in the way you did before
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time

It’s a quarter after one
I’m a little drunk
And I need you now
Said I wouldn’t call
But I’ve lost all control
And I need you now
And I don’t know how I can do without
I just need you now

Yes I’d rather hurt than feel nothing at all

It’s a quarter after one
I’m all alone
And I need you now

And I said I wouldn’t call,
But I’m a little drunk
And I need you now

And I don’t know how I can do without
I just need you now

I just need you now

Oh baby I need you now

[Selenay]

Would you like the chance to shatter heaven?
Would you like to be the one who pulls the sky down just for me?
Round and round and round we run,
And pretend the sun is all you need

I’ve never known a moment to be frozen
You’re making deals with minutes that will slip away, just slip away
So starve the garden, stop the rain-
Winter settles on my petals anyway, anyways.

Is your armor thin again
Do I want to wear it down?
Am I worthy to come in?
Do you want to be found?

Nothing into something into nothing
Every rule you break means there’s no turning back, no looking back.
The words that I could never say -
The clutter that is in your way is nothing new. . .

[Selenay]

Saw the ghost of Elvis on Union Avenue,
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
Then I watched him walk right through.
Now security, they did not see him;
They just hovered 'round his tomb,
But there's a pretty little thing
Waiting for The King
Down in the Jungle Room. . .

Now Muriel plays piano
Every Friday at The Hollywood
And they brought me down to see her
And they asked me if I would
Do a little number.
And I sang with all my might,
And she said, "Tell me, are you a Christian, child?"
And I said "Ma'am, I am tonight."

[Gemme]

I think it's time that I mention
I've got myself an obsession
for the smell, for the touch
I know I got myself a habit
but I've got to have it now
I don't care where, work it out

[Charming Texan]

Come to me
Run to me
Do and be done with me
Cold Cold Cold
Don't I exist for you
Don't I still live for you
Cold cold cold
Everything I possess
Given with tenderness
Wrapped in a ribbon of glass
Time it may take us but God only knows
How I've paid for those things in the past

Dying is easy it's living that scares me to death
I could be so content hearing the sound of your breath
Cold is the color of crystal the snowlight
That falls from the heavenly skies
Catch me and let me dive under under
For I want to swim in the pools of your eyes

[Selenay]

So I loved you for your courage, and your gentle sense of shame
And I loved you for your laughter and your language and your name
And I knew it was impossible, but I loved you just the same
Though the only love I gave to you was hard love

It was hard love, it was hard on you, I know
When the only love I gave to you was love I couldn't show
You forgave the heart that loved you as your lover turned to go
Leaving nothing but the memory of hard love

So I'm standing in this phone booth with a dollar and a dime
Wondering what to say to you to ease your troubled mind
For the Lord's cross might redeem us, but our own just wastes our time
And to tell the two apart is always hard, love

So I'll tell you that I love you even though I'm far away
And I'll tell you how you change me as I live from day to day
How you help me to accept myself and I won't forget to say
Love is never wasted, even when it's hard love

Yes, it's hard love, but it's love all the same
Not the stuff of fantasy, but more than just a game
And the only kind of miracle that's worthy of the name
For the love that heals our lives is mostly hard love

[Charming Texan]

Jan lays down and wrestles in her sleep
Moonlight spills on comic books
And superstars in magazines
An old friend calls and tells us where to meet
Her plane takes off from Baltimore
And touches down on Bourbon street

We sit outside and argue all night long
About a god we've never seen
But never fails to side with me
Sunday comes and all the papers say
Ma Teresa's joined the mob
And happy with her full time job

Am I alive or thoughts that drift away?
Does summer come for everyone?
Can humans do what prophets say?
If I die before I learn to speak
Can money pay for all the days I lived awake
But half asleep?

A life is time, they teach you growing up
The seconds ticking killed us all
A million years before the fall
You ride the waves and don't ask where they go
You swim like lions through the crest
And bathe yourself in zebra flesh

I've been downhearted baby
Ever since the day we met

[Selenay]

I sat alone in the dark one night, tuning in by remote
I found a preacher who spoke of the light
But there was brimstone in his throat.
He'd show me the way, according to him,
In return for my personal check
I flipped my channel back to CNN and I lit another cigarette.

I take my chances,
Yeah, forgiveness doesn't come with a debt.

[Charming Texan]

They say there's a place for those who are good
With it's pearly gates swinging wide open
The rest of us here are just knocking on wood
Quietly, piously hoping
I could wonder if all of it led me to you
I could show you the arrows and circles I drew
I didn't have a map, it's the best I could do
On the fly and on the run
To dreams that were tethered like kites to the ground
To the bridges I burned, to then turning around
It was here in your heart I was finally found
And the last battle won for Elysium

[Write14u]

Is it too much to demand
I want a full house and a rock and roll band
Pens that won't run out of ink
And cool quiet and time to think
Shouldn't I have this
Shouldn't I have this
Shouldn't I have all of this, and

Passionate kisses
Passionate kisses, whoa oh oh
Passionate kisses from you

[daisygrrl]

Now I can only dream of being all you need
And I can only try to be the reason why
You think about today 'cause the past is just the past
It's too much to expect, but it doesn't hurt to ask
It's too much to expect, but it's not too much to ask.

[Selenay]

What about trust?
What about tenderness?
What about tears when I'm happy?
What about wings when I fall?

[Gemme]

I wake up in the morning
Put on my face
The one that's gonna get me
Through another day
Doesn't really matter
How I feel inside
'Cause life is like a game sometimes

[Write14u]

We go to a party and everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady that's walking around with me.
And then she asks me, "Do you feel all right?"
And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight."

[Selenay]

Nobody told me there'd be days like these
There's gotta be somethin' more than misery
It's the salt that stings...

As good as it gets?
I want the sunshine, champagne all the time
I'll live on wine and roses, so hold me closer.
Until I break a sweat,
It ain't as good as it gets.

[Soon]

Hey your glass is empty
it's a hell of a long way home
why don't you let me take you
it's no good to go alone

I never would have opened up
but you seemed so real to me
after all the bullshit I've heard
it's refreshing not to see

I don't have to pretend
she doesn't expect it from me

Don't tell me I haven't been good to you
don't tell me I have never been there for you
don't tell me why

nothing is good enough

[Selenay]

How does it feel when you're falling?
Can you hear sweet angels calling?
Is it empty up in space?
Did you touch God's holy face?
Did you tremble?
Did you cry?
Did you fall or did you fly?

[daisygrrl]

In this world there's a whole lot of trouble, baby
In this world there's a whole lot of pain
In this world there's a whole lot of trouble
But a whole lot of ground to gain
Why take when you could be giving, why watch as the world goes by
It's a hard enough life to be living, why walk when you can fly

[Softly]

The only aphrodisiac I need is your voice
Hearing you speak my name
Beckoning me to answer
Telling me you want me
So I tell you that you're the answer to every question I've ever had about love ...

:bowdown:

[labete]

Never seen a sky so blue
I've never been happy with anyone
Like I am when I'm with you
Look at the sun shining up in the sky
I feel a little closer to heaven, baby
When I'm looking into your eyes

And as long as we're together, boi
I'm sitting on top of the world
Wanna feel this way forever, boi
I'm sitting on top of the world

Last night I lay in the dark
Tryin' to figure it out
Tryin' to talk to my heart
But now it's morning and I still don't know why
All I know is that you got me feeling so good
All I know is that it feels the way that true love should
Ain't no one luckier than you and I

And as long as we're together, boi
I'm sitting on top of the world
Wanna feel this way forever, boi
I'm sitting on top of the world

[Selenay]

Realize:
April showers bring May flowers;
I have seen rain before.
But if Sunday morning lets that sun in,
What are we waiting for?

[NJFemmie]

... No chance 'cause I've traveled fast through time
Just for you to be here with me blowing my mind
And it is going to take me about a thousand years baby
Just to let you know, that this love will never die
And no one could ever make me tell you goodbye ...

[Write14u]

"I'm Moving On"

I've dealt with my ghosts and I've faced all my demons
Finally content with a past I regret
I've found you find strength in your moments of weakness
For once I'm at peace with myself

[Gemme]

Love is crazy
Pretty baby
Take it real slow
My feelings show
All you have to do
Is never ever let it go
My feelings show
And I want you to know
My feelings show


_______________________________



You've got magic inside your fingertips
It's leaking out all over my skin.
Everytime that I get close to you.
It making me weak with the way you look through those eyes.

[Selenay]

There's nothing like doubt tearing your mind
To leave you muddled up and blind
There's nothing like fear riding your soul
To leave you stone cold.
There's nothing like rain falling in the night
From a vast hidden height
Falling like tears from the dark sky's lonely eye.

There's nothing like heat biting your skin
To let you boil from within.
There's nothing like sweat driping down your sides
Gleaming nights
There's nothing like flames licking in the air,
Hungry, without a care
Licking like tongues
Here and there and everywhere.
Let's get lost.

[Soon]

Every whisper
Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up
Consider this
Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
That was just a dream

[Selenay]

She doesn't own a dress,
Her hair is always a mess,
If you catch her stealin'
She won't confess;
She's beautiful.

Smokes a pack a day
(Oh, wait that's me, but anyway)
She doesn't care a thing about that, hey
She thinks I'm beautiful;
Meet Virginia.

She never compromises.
Loves babies and surprises,
Wears high heels when she exercises.
Ain't that beautiful?
Meet Virginia. . .


She only drinks coffee at midnight,
When the moment is not right.
Her timing is quite unusual
You see, her confidence is tragic,
And her intuition magic.

[Soon]

Well I know you want a lover,
let me tell your brother, she's been sleeping
in the Devil's bed.
And there's some rumors going round
someone's underground
she can rock you in the nighttime
'til your skin turns red
woo hoo witchy woman
see how high she flies
woo hoo witchy woman
she got the moon in her eye

[Selenay]

She's a butterfly, pretty as the crimson sky,
Nothing's ever gonna bring her down.
And everywhere she goes
Everybody knows she's so glad to be alive;
She's a butterfly.

God bless the butterfly,
Give her the strength to fly,
Never let her wings touch the ground.

[Bard]

And you can see my heart beating
You can see it through my chest
And I’m terrified but I’m not leaving
Know that I must must pass this test
So just pull the trigger

[Selenay]

The pain's gotta go someplace,
So come on down to my house.

Don't you know that
Love's the only house big enough
For all the pain in the world?

Love's the only house big enough.

[Charming Texan]

Can we move to Italy
I will take a boat and meet you there
Can we move to Italy
I will put fresh flowers in my hair

Can we move to Italy
I have been traveling
With my face pressed against
The windscreen of my dusty car
Trying to be where you are
Can we move to Italy

I will take a house and make it home
Can we move to Italy
We can dance in Venice
Kiss in Rome
Can we move to Italy

Meet me by the church up high on the hill
Please say you will
Way above the shore below
Down in portafino

I've got my ticket
And my purple rosary
I know my mission
I'm set for Italy

Italy
Watch the sun come up
The sun go down
Italy

Punch the air
Kiss the ground
Italy
Dance in Venice
Kiss in Rome
Italy

Take a little house
Make it home

[Stoney]

one day I woke up angry
one day I woke up sore, in the mirror I saw a door mat
so I got up off the floor.
I kicked rocks right on out of there and seen them through the dust
Mom! hey , where the fuck ya goin? aint ya takin us?
For 6 weeks they thought Id lost it
cause I wouldnt help them out ...
I think they needed a taste of what life is all about.
You see , I have always been there to help them raise their kids, to try and give my input so they don't fuck up like I did.
I got way too convenient , like I had NO life to live
and I was just plain crazy cause I didn't have more to give

Before it all was over , before I came back home, I learned a lot about myself while I was alone.
I met the real Stoney who I thought I aspire to be , and realized it wasnt thought that real Stoney IS me.

[Softly]

she lay down in her party dress
and never got up
needless to say
she missed the party
she just got sad
then she got stuck

she was bending
like something brittle
trying hard to bend
she was numb
with the terror
of losing her best friend
we never see things changing
we only see them ending

and some vicious whispering voice kept saying
you have no choice
you have....

'cause when I look at you I squint
you are that beautiful
and my pussy is a tractor
and this is a tractor pull

[labete]

Oh, I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run
I took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me

[Charming Texan]

You say the word
You know I will find you
Or if you need some time
I don't mind
I don't hold on
To the tail of your kite

I'm not like the girls that you've known
But I believe I'm worth coming home to
Kiss away night
This girl only sleeps with butterflies
With butterflies
So go on and fly then boy

[Write14u]

Oh you speak to me in riddles, you speak to me in rhymes.
My body aches to breath your breath, your words keep me alive.

[Charming Texan]

The only aphrodisiac I need is your voice
Hearing you speak my name
Beckoning me to answer
Telling me you want me

So I tell you that you're the answer to every question I've ever had about love
Without words I use my tongue to tell the tale of us
Tracing your shadowscape
Kneeling before you my eyes feast upon your masculinity and
All its divinity and I praise you
Because all of that is for me

I begin to indulge myself of your delicacies
Digesting semi-sweet dark chocolate decadence as it melts
Dripping down my chin
Your taste is something Godiva couldn't re-create

Needing every atom of your anatomy
Necessity is placed upon me knowing you are the source of my serendipity
Dipping in and out of me stroking more than my consciesness
Subconsciously I find myself rewinding our love scenes
In my daydreams

[Selenay]

I'm a town in Carolina,
I'm a detour on a ride for a phone call and a soda,
I'm a blur from the driver's side.
I'm the last gas for an hour if you're going twenty-five
I am Texaco and tobacco,
I am dust you leave behind

I am peaches in September, and corn from a roadside stall
I'm the language of the natives, I'm a cadence and a drawl
I'm the pines behind the graveyard, and the cool beneath their shade, where the boys have left their beer cans
I am weeds between the graves.

My porches sag and lean with old black men and children
Their sleep is filled with dreams, I never can fulfill them
I am a town.

I am a church beside the highway where the ditches never drain
I'm a Baptist like my daddy, and Jesus knows my name
I am memory and stillness, I am lonely in old age; I am not your destination
I am clinging to my ways
I am a town.

I'm a town in Carolina, I am billboards in the fields
I'm an old truck up on cinder blocks, missing all my wheels
I am Pabst Blue Ribbon, American, and "Southern Serves the South"
I am tucked behind the Jaycees sign, on the rural route
I am a town
I am a town
I am a town
Southbound.

[Charming Texan]

So you got up and you ran
And you run to get up, through Chinatowns
To slip right down
Soho's a town in every downtown

Drinking friends who've drunk in bars
Whose drunken friends in drinking bars
Waiting for the lightning man to strike

Icing on your cake
Well, if I knew you were comin'
I'd cut you a piece

[violaine]

In my life the piano sings
Brings me words that are not the strength of strings

Fiery rain and Ruby's cooling sun
Now I see that my world has only begun

Notes that roll on winds with swirling wings
Brings me words that are not the strength of strings

(When I'm feeling high, or I'm feeling low, or there is no change
Somehow days keep melting into the night

And there's always high on the cosmic range
I am always high, I am always low, there is always change

Hear the strings are bending in harmony
Not so far from breaking on the cosmic range)

[violaine]

When I woke up today
and you weren't there to play
then I wanted to be with you
when you showed me your eyes
whispered love at the skies
then I wanted to stay with you

inside me I feel alone and unreal
and the way you kiss will always be a very special thing to me

when I lay still at night
seeing stars high and light
then I wanted to be with you
when the rooftops shone dark
all alone saw a spark
spark of love just to stay with you

inside me I feel, alone and unreal
and the way you kiss will always be a very special thing to me

if I mention your name
turn around on a chain
then the sky opens up for you
when we grew very tall
when I saw you so small
then I wanted to stay with you

inside me I feel, alone and unreal
and the way you kiss will always be a very special thing to me

inside me I feel, alone and unreal
and the way you kiss will always be a very special thing to me

[Write14u]

This shirt is old and faded
All the color's washed away
I've had it now for more damn years
Than I can count anyway
I wear it beneath my jacket
With the collar turned up high
So old I should replace it
But I'm not about to try

[Selenay]

Working hard to get my fill,
Everybody wants a thrill;
Paying anything to roll the dice,
Just one more time.
Some will win, some will lose,
Some were born to sing the blues.
Oh, the movie never ends,
It goes on and on and on and on.

[Selenay]

I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you want to go;
And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window.
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile. . .

I hope you never look back, but you never forget
All the ones who love you in the place you left.
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
And you help somebody every chance you get.
Oh, you find God's grace in every mistake,
And always give more than you take. . .

But more than anything,
My wish for you is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold.
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this is my wish.

[Stoney]

okay .... sooooo thats what I get for posting with little sleep, I thought it said limericks not lyrics......geezzzz

[Write14u]

Gunter glieben glauchen globen
All right
I got something to say
Yeah, it's better to burn out
Yeah, than fade away
All right
Ow Gonna start a fire
C'mon!
Rise up! gather round
Rock this place to the ground
Burn it up let's go for broke
Watch the night go up in smoke

Drive me crazier, no serenade
No fire brigade, just Pyromania

What do you want? What do you want?
I want rock'n'roll, yes I do
Long live rock'n'roll

[Charming Texan]

I'm taking a ride
With my best friend
I hope he never let's me down again
He knows where he's taking me
Taking me where I want to be

I'm taking a ride
With my best friend
We're flying high
We're watching the world pass us by
Never want to come down
Never want to put my feet back down
On the ground

I'm taking a ride
With my best friend
I hope he never let's me down again
Promises me I'm as safe as houses
As long as I remember who's wearing the trousers
I hope he never let's me down again
Never let me down
See the stars, they're shining bright
Everything's alright tonight

[Selenay]

Don't know much about practicing what I preach,
Don't know how to be envious without jealousy,
Don't know how to hold my temper, when I have to get in the last word,
Don't know how to speak softly and still be heard,
But before I lose everything and everyone who loves me...

Don't know much about love cause I get the same crap from every guy,
Don't know how to see the grass being greener on my side,
Don't know much about wisdom without being jaded,
Don't know how to take criticism without feeling hated,
But before I lose everything and everyone who loves me...

Whoa man, I'm everything I said I wouldn't be,
Standing here with nothing, will you help me?

Don't know how to tell a joke without putting my foot in my mouth,
Don't know how to be intimate if I don't have a crowd,
Don't know how to be hopeful, what if they let me down?
I don't know how to keep myself from hurting everyone...

God if you're listening would you have a message sent?
Cause I need to be a better lover, brother, and a friend.
God if you're listening would you come up with some change?
Cause I wake up every morning with a penny to my name.

Oh, God, I don't know much about nothing, no,
So give me a break.
Anyway, won't anybody listen to me?

[Write14u]

Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay

[Selenay]

Am I less of a lady if I don't wear pantyhose?
My mama said a lady ain't what she wears
But what she knows.

But I've drawn a conclusion: it's all an illusion,
Confusion's the name of the game
A misconception, a vast deception
Something's gotta change.

Don't be offended, this is all my opinion
Ain't nothing that I'm sayin law
This is a true confession of a life learned lesson
I was sent here to share with y'all
So get in where you fit in go on and shine

Clear your mind, now's the time
Put your salt on the shelf
Go on and love yourself

[Selenay]

I spent my whole life looking for land
But settled on the breakers
And saw the home that I held in my hand
Was just some dirt inside a scrap of paper
And I know that I should be long gone
And I know, the pills stopped working long ago. . .

[Softly]

Just kids in the eye of the storm
And as my house spun round
My dreams pulled me from the ground
Forever to search for the flame
For home again...

[labete]

I don't want to get up baby, let's turn off the phone
I don't want to go to work today or even put my makeup on
I've got better things to do than my todo list anyway
Hide under the covers and waste away the day
Let's just lay here and be lazy, baby drive me crazy

All I want to do wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wooo
All I want to do wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wooo is love you

I got my whole life to change the world and climb the ladders
Looking at you looking at me is the only thing that matters
Come a little closer baby, we can talk without the words
Hang a sign on the door, please do not disturb
Let's just lay here and be lazy, baby drive me crazy

All I want to do wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wooo
All I want to do wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wooo is love you

Give me a kiss, from that Elvis lip,
You don't want to miss this,
All I want to do wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wooo
All I want to do wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wooo is love you wo woo

All I really want to do,
All I really want to do,
All I really want to do is love you, love you, love you
Come a little closer baby, we can talk without the words
Hang a sign on the door, please do not, please do not, please do not, please do not disturb
When I lay down in the evening all I really want to do,
When I wake up, when I wake up in the morning baby, all I really want to do...

[Selenay]

Hey, the rain falls straight into the sidewalk
Hey, the clouds hang heavy in the sky
But I don't want to still believe in
The gravity of solid ground
The world below is not so big
That it can keep us down

We are standing on the rooftops
We are circling like sparrows
We are tiny, we are trembling,
Scared of everything.
But the heart is still a redwing.

[Selenay]

Oh, I know that she’s disgusted
Cause she’s feeling so abused.
She gets tired of the lust,
But it’s so hard to refuse.

[Write14u]

Curbside prophets they're yellin' at me
He can save my soul for a drink and a dollar
They keep starin' at my tattoos
We all live with the scars we choose
They might hurt like hell
but they all make us stronger

[Enchantress]

There's a saying old says that love is blind
Still were often told, seek and ye shall find
So Im going to seek a certain lad Ive had in mind
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet

Hes the big affair I cannot forget
Only man I ever think of with regret
Id like to add his initial to my monogram
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?

There's a somebody Im longing to see
I hope that he turns out to be
Someone wholl watch over me
Im a little lamb whos lost in the wood
I know I could always be good
Someone wholl watch over me

Although he may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome
To my heart he carries the key
Wont you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me

[Write14u]

And theres a place in heaven
for those wild and kindred souls.
But they'll be raising hell till then:
Renegades, Rebels and Rogues

[Selenay]

Now that we're old and ready to go
We get to thinkin' what happened a long time ago
We had a lot of kids, trouble and pain
But then, oh Lord...
We'd do it again

Oh, kisses sweeter than wine...

[Write14u]

Lying beside you, here in the dark
Feeling your heart beat with mine
Softly you whisper, you're so sincere
How could our love be so blind
We sailed on together
We drifted apart
And here you are by my side

So now I come to you, with open arms
Nothing to hide, believe what I say
So here I am with open arms
Hoping you'll see what your love means to me
Open arms

[Selenay]

My heart's grown cold
There's not much left
My blood won't turn
And I can see my breath
She walks above, the angel's rule
Kicks the snow, feels like winter
I'd do anything to just be with her. . .

[Write14u]

I'm so tired but I can't sleep
Standin' on the edge of something much too deep
It's funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word
Though we are screaming inside oh we can't be heard

[Selenay]

He was her only child, her baby boy
She was his second daughter, a father's pride and joy.
Somebody's mother, brother, best friend, sister, lover
Maybe an A-1 student running, hiding, taking cover. . .

People say, "Not in this neighborhood!
It doesn't happen here!
Our kids have everything,
What do we have to fear?"
But what about the ones who say, "This happens every day;
Drugs and violence take our children.
How much more death can come our way?"

Don't you know?
Some bullets find their targets
Bombs can take you right on cue
Some in the hands of babies
Or officials and their crew
Claimed the brother had a gun
She fit the profile in my book
Running, hiding, taking cover, didn't take the time to look
Somebody's mother, brother, best friend, sister, lover. . .

The women gather crying tears that fill a million oceans
It doesn't matter where you're living.

[Write14u]

Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
All that you need is in your soul
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
All that I want for you, my son
Is to be satisfied.

[Beau]

I am thinking it's a sign
That the freckles in our eyes
Are mirror images and
When we kiss they're perfectly aligned

And I have to speculate
That God himself did make us into
Corresponding shapes like puzzle pieces
From the clay :stillheart:

[QueenofQueens]

They will see us waving from such great heights,
come down now...
:stillheart:

[violaine]

they'll look you in the eyes and
stone you
then turn and disown you
they'll walk all over your name
'til they find someone else
to blame
secrets hide their lies
inside hidden alibis
they put the world on a hook
it's worse every time i look

it will be in your honor
'til you're not needed any longer
don't believe the headlines
check it for yourself sometimes
the lies you live become you
the love you lose it numbs you
they say that you've arrived
that's just a high class bribe

there's always someone younger
someone with more hunger
they'll say you're one and only
then straight up leave you lonely
like a transplant patient
waiting for a donor
like a half empty balloon
after a party in the corner

i would rather take a punch
than not give you a shot
i'd rather find out who you are
than who you're not
shoulda known better
than to mistake business for love
shoulda known better
than to mistake a fist for a glove

don't let them take the fight
outta you


Like a transplant patient
waiting for a donor.
Don't let it take the fight outta you.

Like a half empty balloon
after a party in the corner.
Don't let it take the fight outta you.

[Write14u]

Oh girl.
You stand by me.
I'm forever yours.
Faithfully.

[Selenay]

She's a summer storm
and I'm a hurricane.
One just blows through town
One blows the town away.
(I'm wilder than her.)

[Abigail Crabby]

You are my fire
The one desire
Believe when I say
I want it that way

But we are two worlds apart
Can't reach to your heart
When you say
That I want it that way

[Chorus:]
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say
I want it that way

Am I your fire
Your one desire
Yes I know it's too late
But I want it that way

[Chorus]

Now I can see that we're falling apart
From the way that it used to be, yeah
No matter the distance
I want you to know
That deep down inside of me...

You are my fire
The one desire
You are
You are, you are, you are

Don't wanna hear you say
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
(Don't wanna hear you say)
I never wanna hear you say
I want it that way

Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Tell me why
Ain't nothin but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say
(Don't wanna hear you say it)
I want it that way
I want it that way

[Selenay]

In the windows of your mind;
In a corner of your heart;
Under lock and key
Will you keep me?

[violaine]

Stepping out to Angellucci's for my coffee beans
Checking out the movies and the magazines
I'm getting a pickup for my steel guitar
I saw you walking out Shaftesbury Avenue
Excuse me for talking I wanna marry you
This is the seventh heaven street to me

:farmcow:

[violaine]

Tomorrow is another day, as the clock keep tickin' away:
Time is so precious and so I say.

Let's make it, when the sun is shining,
Get up let's do something creative.
Don't waste your time away, or you won't see the day.

Tomorrow is another day, as the clock keeps tickin' away:
Time is so precious and so I say.
Tomorrow is another day, as the clock keeps tickin' away:
Time is so precious and so I say.

Wake up to meet the rising sun,
Let's make it, when the sun is shining,
Get up let's do something creative.
Time wait on no one, you got to be strong.

[Selenay]

I'd wish on every star in the southern sky
For that man and our life
If I did not think that maybe
I was much too selfish. . .

[Selenay]

You're still in bed at ten and work began at eight;
You've burned your breakfast, so far things are going great.

Your mother warned you there'd be days like these
Oh, but she didn't tell you
When the world has brought you down to your knees
That I'll be there for you.

[Write14u]

Pretty woman, won't you pardon me
Pretty woman, I couldn't help but see
Pretty woman
That you look lovely as can be
Are you lonely just like me

[The_Lady_Snow]

When I touch you do you quiver
From your head down to your liver
If you like it let me know it
Don't be psychic or you'll blow it
The answer better be (Yes, yes)
It pleases me

[Semantics]

I been drifting along
In the same stale shoes
Loose ends tying a noose
In the back of my mind

If you thought that you were making your way
To where the puzzles and pagans lay
I'll put it together:
It's a strange invitation

When I wake up
Someone will sweep up my lazy bones
And we will rise in the cool of the evening
I'll remember the way that you smiled
When the gravity shackles were wild
And something is vacant
When I think it's all beginning

It's a strange invitation

[The_Lady_Snow]

Fuck your pain away
It's what you had to do
To fall on through to emotion

Fuck your pain away
You slipped on through

[violaine]

I've twisting to the sun I needed to replace
The fountain in the front yard is rusted out
All my love was down
In a frozen ground

There's a black crow sitting across from me; his wiry legs are crossed
And he's dangling my keys he even fakes a toss
Whatever could it be
That has brought me to this loss?

On your back with your racks as the stacks as your load
In the back and the racks and the stacks of your load
In the back with your racks and you're un-stacking your load

This is not the sound of a new man or crispy realization
It's the sound of the unlocking and the lift away
Your love will be
Safe with me

[MrSunshine]

I was blown away what could I say
It all seemed to make sense
You’ve taken away everything
And I can’t do without
I try to see the good in life
But good things in life are hard to find

[Write14u]

Oh I say let's pretend we're married and go all night
There ain't nothin' wrong if it feels all right
I won't stop until the morning light
Let's pretend we're married and go all night, tonight

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

[Write14u]

Touch if you will my stomach
Feel how it trembles inside
You've got the butterflies all tied up
Don't make me chase you
Even doves have pride

[Selenay]

Mother always said I'd be very attractive
When I grew up,
When I grew up.
"Different," she said,
"With a special something
And a very, very personal flair."
And though I was eight or nine,
Though I was eight or nine,
Though I was eight or nine,
I hated her.

Now "Different" is nice,
But it sure isn't pretty.
"Pretty" is what it's about.
I never met anyone who was "different"
Who couldn't figure that out.

[The_Lady_Snow]

We talked
Together sharpening the knife
Like killing partners for a life
Hey we can hide the bodies on the ride home

Now here we are
We're licking skin to wipe us clean
Strike a match, pour gasoline
Ditch the scene and watch this city burn
Asleep, my life will be a pillow steering wheel turn

[NJFemmie]

Angel of mine, can I thank you
You have saved me time and time again
Angel, I must confess
It's you that always gives me strength
And I don't know where I'd be without you

After all these years, one thing is true
Constant voice within my heart is you
You touch me, I feel I'm moving into you
I treasure every day I spend with you
All the things I am come down to you

[Selenay]

How many lovers would stay
Just to put up with this
Every day and all day?
Now how did we wind up this way;
Watching our mouths for the words that we say.
As long as we stand here waiting,
Wearing the clothes of the souls that we choose
Now how do we get there today
When we're walking too far for the price of our shoes?

[Leigh]

There might have been a time
I would give myself away
(Ooh) Once upon a time
I didn't give a damn
But now here we are
So whataya want from me
Whataya want from me

[Selenay]

I have kissed honey lips,
Felt the healing fingertips;
It burned like a fire,
This burning desire.

I have spoke with the tongues of angels,
I have held the hand of a devil;
It was warm in the night,
I was cold as a stone.

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for.

[The_Lady_Snow]

Drawn to the violence of change
Charmed by the sentimental brave
I hear the door slam, I look the other way
I hate the small talk and the empty days

[Selenay]

I believe I'll run on, see what the end will be
Believe I'll work on, find out what waits for me.
I see ten thousand stories and glories and dreams,
See angels right here on earth.

Our hearts are open wide,
Got a new light shining inside,
And it makes me wanna run on;
See what tomorrow will be,
Cuz I like what I see.

[Soon]

I don't know
What was wrong with my mind
I walked around like
I had a force inside and on my heart
Now I feel like
I got plenty of time
Cause I'm safe from the pain
For the rest of my life

Love is all you need to live
Then love is all I've got to give
And I give it all

You can say that for the rest of your life

Love is all you need to live
Then love is all i've got to give
And I give it all

[Selenay]

If you were falling
Then I would catch you
You need a light?
I'd find a match.
Cause I love the way you say, "Good morning."
And you take me the way I am.

[Soon]

Take me to the storm
where the thunder meets the light
Take me in your gentle arms
and I'll love you through the night

Come on and take me, take me, take me
Come on and take me, take me, take me

[Selenay]

All I wanna do is
Let it be and be with you
And watch the wind blow by.

[Write14u]

I miss the sound of your voice
I miss the rush of your skin
I miss the still of the silence
As you breathe out and I breathe in

So come on get higher
Loosen my lips
Faith and desire
And the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love

[Ms. Meander]

everything i do is judged
and they mostly get it wrong
but oh well
'cuz the bathroom mirror has not budged
and the woman who lives there can tell
the truth from the stuff that they say
and she looks me in the eye
and says would you prefer the easy way?
no, well o.k. then
don't cry...

[The_Lady_Snow]

If I told you once, then I told you twice. You gotta get to know me. There's
more to a relationship then jumpin' in the sheets, and if that's all you want,
then you better go, 'cause that ain't me. I don't give my love to just
anybody. If I'm not correct, then prove me wrong, and just hold on.
Gradually, you will see, just how good it'll be. When the time is right, I'll
ease your mind with a little bump and grind. Fantasies full of ecstasy: we'll
have a real good time.

[violaine]

Turn up your radio and let me hear the song
Switch on your electric light
Then we can get down to what is really wrong
I long just to hold you in my arms so that I can feel you

Turn it up, turn it up, little bit higher, radio
Turn it up, that's enough, so you know it's got soul
So you know, So you know it's got soul, So you know it's got..
So you know it's got soul. so you know it's got soul

Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night.
And wouldn't you love to love her?
She rules her life like a bird in flight.
And who will be her lover?
All your life you've never seen a woman taken by the sky.
Well, would you stay if she promised to you heaven?
Would you even try?

[violaine]

Sit with me now
Will watch the dusk
Sun falling on
The two of us
Let's set our hearts
To match the sun
Were right on time
Here it comes
The countdown is starting now
:flyingweed:
Let's set our hearts to match the sun
When it goes down
For keeping sake, a sign for all time
So we both know, oh
:flyingweed:
In the wind I wander
I don''t know where I'll end up
Do what I can to get home
Right there baby
There in between twilight
Finish the day into
Night
When
We'll meet up
Again
:flyingweed:
Knowing the sun will set on time
And knowing you know your heart beats close to mine
From where you are
You'll see our mark
Signing our name
All across the colored sky

Just in time to match the sun
Just in time to match the sun

[Ms. Meander]

A tragedy brings misery
Misery loves company
Company is misleading
Ive made it this far
Without you

[Leigh]

It's alright
You'll be fine
Baby, I'm in control
Take the pain
Take the pleasure
I'm the master of both
Close your eyes
Not your mind
Let me into your soul
I'ma work it 'til you're totally blown

[Selenay]

For a second I wish the tide
Would swallow every inch of this city
And you gasp for air tonight.
From up here the city lights burn
Like a thousand miles of fire.

[The_Lady_Snow]

This special need
That's within us
Bring out the best
Yet the worst in us
Follow the passion
That's within you
Living the truth
Will set you free

[SuperFemme]

I don't know what I'd ever do without you
From the beginning to the end
You've always been here right beside me
So I'll call you my best friend
Through the good times and the bad ones
Whether I lose or If I win
I know one thing that never changes and
That's you as my best friend

Whenever I'm down
With all that's going on, It's really going on
Just one of those days
You say the right thing, to keep me moving
To keep me going strong, what else can I say

Friends are there through thick and thin
Well I've been told that
And I believe that it's automatic
Call me when you need a friend
Cuz I'm your sister and always for ya and I don't know

[Selenay]

Red mud on the fenders might have gave a clue as to where we'd been
And no one knows just what went on except the moon, and me and him, yeah.
Morning's sun found a new mustang
Abandoned in a Walmart parking lot.
Note on the seat said, "Don't tow me away."
Didn't stop the gossip tongues from wagging
'Til next day somewhere around 3 o'clock
No tellin' what they're talkin about,
What's going 'round.
It's too late to worry. .

You in the moonlight
with your sleepy eyes
could you ever love a man like me

[violaine]

the air was blue, you could hold it in your hand,
blue remember me, I once told you
I tried to ...
realise that nothing lasts forever
in heart, you'll always be a child
we cried as we kissed - it was too new
we died and we lived - it was too new
too strong- still too much
when you were a child unhappiness took the place of dreams
dreams are like water, colourless and dangerous
without the strength to love
way beyond fear
you could care less if you could care at all
we cried as we kissed - it was too new
we died and we lived - it was too new
too strong still too much

Cinnamon, with a taste of honey, it ain't funny
When she walk in the room, I can't help actin a fool
I know what she like, she act right
She act like she ain't gon' survive the night
without my dick all up in her ass, so quick, so fast
I see her twin towers and I'm ready to crash
Walk around naked witcha beautiful ass
Who the fuck taught ya how to move that fast?
It took time to perfect the stroke, by any note
Maybe we really don't need to drink and smoke
And just try a new position, perfect your dick kissin
Bang on your G-spot 'til your (voice is missin)

[Interlude: Xzibit - repeat 2X]
I don't want to love, you
I just want to fuck, you
You should bring your friends, through
I'll fuck you and them, too

[Selenay]

I met a friend of spirit,
He drank and womanized.
And I sat before his sanity,
I was holding back from crying.
He saw my complications
And he mirrored me back simplified,
And we laughed how our perfection
Would always be denied.
"Heart and humor and humility,"
He said, "will lighten up your heavy load."

I left him, then, for the refuge of the roads

[Selenay]

You've got two character flaws that I can see
One: you don't know how great you are
And: you are leaving me.
But I know I'll get over that eventually
And I hope that California's what you need.

Before I saw your eyes
I was in control of my soul on the whole
Oooh, what am I gonna do
About you

Again...wondrful...I love reading how fluid your thoughts are!!!

[Selenay]

Again...wondrful...I love reading how fluid your thoughts are!!!

Princess, this is a thread for posting and sharing song lyrics. While Write's thoughts may be fluid, those probably aren't hys. *s

[Selenay]

Had a bad day again
She said I would not understand
She left a note and said, "I'm sorry, I had a bad day again."
She spilled her coffee, broke her shoelace.
Smeared the lipstick on her face.
Slammed the door and said, "I'm sorry, I had a bad day again."

And she swears there's nothing wrong,
I hear her playing that same old song.
She puts me off and puts me on
And had a bad day again.
She said I would not understand
She left a note that said, "I'm sorry, I had a bad day again."

[Selenay]

Late last night I missed my train,
I walked back to the car and drove home again.
Just outside of Pittsburgh, it's really not that far,
Saw a light come shining across the reservoir.
The sun in California, it drops right into the sea;
I took a couple pictures, they don't mean that much to me.
Just outside of Pittsburgh, I saw it from my car,
The light shines to the bottom of the reservoir.

[Selenay]

I'm still mad at you this morning
Coffee's ready if you want some
I've been up since 5
Thinking about me and you
And I've got to tell you
The conclusion I've come to. . .

For now you might as well forget it
Don't run your fingers through my hair
Yeah that's right I'm being stubborn
No I don't want to go back upstairs
I'm going to leave for work
Without a goodbye kiss
But as I'm driving off
Just remember this:

I'll never leave, I'll never stray
My love for you will never change
But I ain't ready to make up or get around to that
I think I'm right I think your wrong
I'll probably give in before long
Please don't make me smile
I just want to be mad for a while

[evolveme]

In our days we will live like our ghosts will live
pitching glass at the cornfield crows and folding clothes
like stubborn boys across the road, we’ll keep everything
Grandma’s gun and the black bear claw that took her dog
And when sister Lowery says “Amen,” we won’t hear anything
The ten-car train will take that word, that fledgling bird
and the fallen house across the way, it’ll keep everything
the baby’s breath, our bravery wasted and our shame

And we’ll undress beside the ashes of the fire
Both our tender bellies wound in baling wire
All the more a pair of underwater pearls
Than the oak tree and its resurrection fern

In our days, we will say what our ghosts will say
“We gave the world what it saw fit, and what’d we get?”
Like stubborn boys with big green eyes, we’ll see everything
in the timid shade of the autumn leaves and the buzzard’s wing

Then we’ll undress beside the ashes of the fire
Our tender bellies all wound around in baling wire
All the more a pair of underwater pearls
Than the oak tree and its resurrection fern

-Sam Beam (Iron & Wine) "Resurrection Fern"

[Write14u]

Every moment marked
with apparitions of your soul.
I'm ever swiftly moving,
trying to escape this desire,
the yearning to be near you.
I do what I have to do.

[Dragonfly]

Oh there’s something ’bout a man in black
Makes me want to buy a cadillac
Throw the top back
And roll down to Jackson town
I wanna be there on the stage with you
You and I could be the next rage too
Hear the crowd roar
Make ‘em want more
Kick the footlights out

I wanna love like Johnny and June
Rings of fire burnin’ with you
I wanna walk the line
Walk the line
‘Till the end of time
I wanna love
Love ya that much
Cash it all in
Give it all up
When you’re gone
I wanna go too
Like Johnny and June

I wanna hold you baby right or wrong
Build a world around a country song
Pray a sweet prayer
Follow you there
Down in history

I wanna love like Johnny and June
Rings of fire burnin’ with you
I wanna walk the line
Walk the line
‘Till the end of time
I wanna love
Love ya that much
Cash it all in
Give it all up
When you’re gone
I wanna go too
Like Johnny and June

Like Johnny and June
More than life itself
No-one else
This endless promise
They don’t make love like that anymore
Is that too much to be askin’ for

I wanna love like Johnny and June
Rings of fire burnin’ with you
I wanna walk the line
Walk the line
‘Till the end of time
I wanna love
Love ya that much
Cash it all in
Give it all up
When you’re gone
I wanna go too
Like Johnny and June

And when we’re gone
There’ll be no tears to cry
Only memories of our lives
They’ll remember, remember
A love like that.

[Canela]

When I'm tired and thinking cold
I hide in my music, forget the day
And dream of a girl I used to know
I closed my eyes and she slipped away
She slipped away

:cherry:

[The_Lady_Snow]

Feelin' like I can't go on.
Turnin' circles time again
Cut like a knife, oh now
If you love me got to know for sure
Cuz' it takes something more this time
Then sweet, sweet lies, oh now
Before I open up my arms and fall losing all control
Every dream inside my soul
When you kiss me on that midnight street

[Write14u]

A song a, scent, someone with your same hair,
all these things can take me back to when
I shake and I ache when I think about holding you

[Daywalker]

A song a, scent, someone with your same hair,
all these things can take me back to when
I shake and I ache when I think about holding you

And the sign says,
"Long-haired freaky people Need not apply."
:onebutch:

So I tucked my hair up under my hat
And I went in to ask him why

He said,
"You look like a fine outstanding young man, I think you'll do."

So I took off my hat, I said,
"Imagine that! Huh, me workin' for you!"

Ooh

:fan:

[The_Lady_Snow]

Things get damaged Things get broken I thought we'd manage But words left unspoken Left us so brittle There was so little left to give Angels with silver wings Shouldn't know suffering I wish I could take the pain for You

[Selenay]

Baby it's bad out there
No cabs to be had out there. . .
Your eyes are like starlight now;
I'll take your hat--your hair looks swell!

Mind if I move in closer?
What's the sense of hurting my pride,
Baby don't hold out.

[The_Lady_Snow]

I feel so foolish, I never noticed
You act so nervous, could you be fallin' for me?
It took the rumor to make me wonder,
Now I'm convinced that I'm goin' under.
Thinkin' 'bout you every day,
dreamin' 'bout you every night.
I'm hopin' that you feel the same way,
Now that we know it, let's really show it darlin'.

[Selenay]

Well now he's dead
You whacked him on the head
Sure, now he's dead
It makes me just see red
You are such a brute
To murder that old coot
You homicidal bastard, now he's really dead
Who is the knave who put him in his grave
And who needs to manage his anger?

His name is Lancelot,
Just watch him dance a lot
He doesn't care what people say
(No Way!)

For when he starts to dance
Just grab your underpants

He can finally come out and say that he is G.A.Y.M.C.A.
He's Gay!

[Selenay]

She never lets it go to her heart.
She never lets it go that far.
When they start talkin'
She starts walkin'
Right back to my arms.
She can turn every head,
But she never lets it go to her heart.

[The_Lady_Snow]

Then one day a picture came inside a letter Of a young girl with a baby in her arms And the words she wrote would change his life forever So he went to raise his family on the farm

[Write14u]

When you kiss me like this
I think you mean it like that
If you do baby kiss me again

[violaine]

and in the element of light,
the sun reflected from the waves.
in shore, it spangles.

and in the element of summer,
the cliffs suspended in the heat,
the air in columns.

the tiny figures of the world are walking
underneath your feet,
and underneath your hair.

where angels wander
i'll wander too.
where angels wander... over you,
and in the element of darkness
the starlight shimmers on the spray,
and falls towards you.

element.

and in the element of laughter,
the quick explosion and the slow
release of heat, you....

[Write14u]

Baby I don't give a damn
I know that your man's nowhere in sight oh oh
And your eyes don't tell a lie
I know you wanna come with me tonight

[Selenay]

Now the fields are all four lanes
And the moon's not just a name;
Are you more amazed at how things change
Or how they stay the same?
And do you sit here on this porch and wonder
How the time flies by,
Or does it seem to barely creep along
With 75 Septembers come and gone?

[Selenay]

Show a little inspiration, show a little spark
Show the world a little light when you show it your heart
We've got two lives:
One we're given and the other one we make
And the world won't stop, and actions speak louder
Listen to your heart, and your heart might say
Everything we got, we got the hard way.

[Write14u]

Tell em all I'm out in Vegas,
Blowin' every dollar I ever made,
Tell em that I must be into something bad for me cause,
I sure lost a lot of weight,
Tell em I'm out on the road with some old rock and roll band,
Living like a gypsy can

[violaine]

She loved her brother I remember back when
He was fixin up a '49 Indian
He told her 'Little sister, gonna ride the wind
Up around the moon and back again"
He never got farther than Vietnam,
I was standin there with her when the telegram come
For Lillian.
Now he's lyin somewhere about a million miles from Meridian.

[Semantics]

Losing the stars without a sky
Losing the reasons why
Losing the calling that you've been faking
And I'm not kidding

It's damned if you don't and it's damned if you do

[Softly]

And scars are souvenirs you never lose
The past is never far
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there
Did you get to be a star
And don't it make you sad to know that life
Is more than who we are

We grew up way too fast
And now there's nothing to believe
Reruns all become our history
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell em' your name
I won't tell em' your name
I won't tell em' your name…


I think about you all the time
But I don't need the same
It's lonely where you are come back down,
And I won't tell em your name

[Charming Texan]

I am very very much in like with you
I hope that it's enough 'cause it's all I can do
'Cause you treat my skin like porcelain,
Rare and special porcelain
Even though you know I know you know
That this is not the real thing...
Oh, isn't it enough what I'm giving to you, baby?
Oh, isn't it enough that your kisses drive me crazy?
Oh, isn't it enough, isn't it enough?

[Write14u]

A body like yours (a body like yours)
Oughta be in jail (oughta be in jail)
Cause it's on the verge of being obscene (cause it's on the verge of being obscene)

Move over baby
Gimme the keys
I'm gonna try to tame your little red love machine.

[Beau]

Todo aquel que piense que la vida es desigual,
tiene que saber que no es asi,
que la vida es una hermosura, hay que vivirla.
Todo aquel que piense que esta solo y que esta mal,
tiene que saber que no es asi,
que en la vida no hay nadie solo, siempre hay alguien.

Ay, no ha que llorar, que la vida es un carnaval,
es mas bello vivir cantando.
Oh, oh, oh, Ay, no hay que llorar,
que la vida es un carnaval
y las penas se van cantando.

[Selenay]

All you need is a nagging hunger--
Baby the bush is burning, I ain't getting any younger.
Belly up and believe,
Whatcha waiting for, a revelation?
Yeah, yeah.
All it takes is a taste of the spirit--
Like an addict, gotta have it every time I get near it,
Straight to the heart of the matter
No hesitation.
No other high like liberation
Like liberation, yeah. . .

[Softly]

:stillheart:

So then love walked up to like
And said I know that you don't like me much
Let's go for a ride
This ocean is wrapped around that pineapple tree
And is your place in heaven
Worth giving up these kisses
These, these kisses
And Peggy got a message for me
From Jesus
And I've heard every word that you have said
And I know I have been driven like the snow, but
This is cooling
Faster than I can
Hey yes, faster than I can
Hey, this is cooling
This is cooling

[Softly]

From your face, your eyes
Are burning to me.
You saved me, you gave me
Just what I need.

And then I crashed into you...

[Softly]

The say for every high
There must be a low.
For every sun ascending
A lonesome moon will grow.
Drive my heart, drive my heart
Into the fire of a burning heart's
desire!

[Ms. Meander]

Its a grueling road to nowhere
Sneaking out the bedroom
Sleeping in the basement
God just get me somewhere
Anywhere, any hole in the ground will work
And who cares if it hurts
Cause Ive been through worse
I make the right mistakes
AND I SAY WHAT I MEAN!

Been years of desperation
For a life long sentence
Of repentance
Anxiety
Separation
Pay attention to the wild combination
Of education and desecration
Youll know when it HITS.

[Canela]

Hey woman, you got the blues, cos' you ain't got no one else to use.
There's an open road that leads nowhere, so just make some miles
between here and there.
There's a hole in my head where the rain comes in,
You took my body and played to win,
Ha Ha woman it's a crying shame,
But you ain't got no one else to blame.

ELO

I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland,
pretty mama, come and take me by the hand, by the hand.
Take me by the hand, pretty mama,

Baby, baby, I get down on my knees for you.
If you would only love me like you used to do.
We had a love,
A love, a love you don't find every day
So don't...don't...don't let it slip away

[The_Lady_Snow]

We watch the season pull up its own stakes
And catch the last weekend of the last week
Before the gold and the glimmer have been replaced,
Another sun soaked season fades away

[Ms. Meander]

Well the moon and stars sometimes collide
So we can see the brighter side
And in giving what we've been denied
Is all a seed need sow
All a heart need know

[Write14u]

I'm on my way to New Orleans this mornin'
Leavin' out of Nashville, Tennessee
They're always havin' a good time down on the bayou
Lord, them Delta women think the world of me

[Write14u]

Breathe out, so I can breathe you in,
Hold you in, and now, I know you've always been.
Out of your head, out of my head I sing.

And I wonder when I sing along with you,
If everything could ever be this real forever.
If anything could ever be this good again,
The only thing I'll ever ask of you.
You gotta promise not to stop when I say when.

[Gentle Tiger]

I'm taking my own freedom
Putting it in my song,
Singing loud and strong,
Grooving all day long,
I'm taking my freedom,
Putting it in my stroll,
I'll be high-steppin' y'all,
Letting the joy unfold,

[Daktari]

You come from far away
With pictures in your eyes
Of coffeeshops and morning streets
In the blue and silent sunrise
But night is the cathedral
Where we recognized the sign
We strangers know each other now
As part of the whole design


Oh, hold me like a baby
That will not fall asleep
Curl me up inside you
And let me hear you through the heat

[Semantics]

turn me back into the pet
i was when we met


i was happier then
with no mindset

[robbrt]

But I’d rather be working for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lottery

[violaine]

I'll tell you secrets so good
You'll never tell a soul
Come closer, that bonfire holds his life like stones
My years, my life unknown

Star crossed child's love on the bands of wedding gold
Silver studs of promise hide in the red crushed velvet folds
Inaction, intention, like emeralds I stole
My speech of custom gold
I think I ought to know

[robbrt]

A viral infection that can incubate for years
Caused by affection fallen deep into arrears
No medication to procure
Makes me pure, there's no cure, I am sure

[Write14u]

Unsinkable ships, sink
Unbreakable walls, break
Sometimes the things you think would never happen
Happen just like that
Unbendable steel, bends
If the fury of the wind is unstoppable
I've learned to never underestimate
The impossible

[evolveme]

Ella Mae - the red wings returned today
A little rain fell in the morning
The afternoon was clear
And that song you loved to hear
Was filling up the fence row where the birds all go
To talk over their long journey and sing.

Ella Mae - all the gifts you gave
Tremble in my life like a startled deer
You gave me my Pa
Who is in me as you are
And the southern piny hills
The clear water and the running rills
That tumbled through the lives of us all.

Six big men and one big strong woman
You and little Grandpa David raised up there
They all had families
Who all come back to see you
You hugged us all in turn
Cocked you head and said we'd grown
And touched us with your hands
That smelled like bread

Ella Mae - it's a clear warm summer's day
The young birds are trying out their wings
Ah it's something to see them try
To get up there and fly
And my own child is bound to do the same
Today she learned three birds' names.

Ella Mae - I can see you plain as day
Sailing out like a ship to your garden
In your old wide-brim straw hat
With a long handled hoe in your hand.
pausing at the gate I see you look south to the pond
A long time quiet smile on your face.

Ella Mae - when your David went away
After cutting brush all day long
Well, your life just slowly closed
Like a worn out autumn rose
You could not find the bread
You could not make your lonesome bed
Or really do a thing but rise and go.

Ella Mae - the red wings left today
Passing in a long cloud of wings
They're headed down your way
They'll be there in a couple of days
They'll sing that song you loved
As they fly above
Your resting place by David in the pines.

[evolveme]

The absence of God will bring you comfort, baby
And planning's for the poor so let's pretend that we're rich
And I'm not my body or how I choose to destroy it
Folk singers sing songs for the working, baby

We're just recreation for all those doctors and lawyers
There's no relief for the bleeding heart
'Cause they'll be losing bodies tonight

And Rob says you love, love, love and then you die
I've watched him while sleeping and seen him crying with closed eyes
And you're not happy but you're funny and I'm tripping over my joy
But I just keep on getting up again

We could be daytime drunks if we wanted
We'd never get anything done that way baby
And we'd still be ruled by our dueling perspectives
And I'm not my perspective
Or the lies I'll tell you every time

And Morgan says, maybe love won't let you down
All of your failures are training grounds
And just as your back's turned you'll be surprised she says
As your solitude subsides

And Mike I'll teach you how to swim
If you turn the bad in me into good again

And I say there's trouble
When everything is fine
The need to destroy things
Creeps up on me every time
Just as love's silhouette appears
I close my eyes and disappear tonight

And something's got to change
'Cause our love's the slowest moving train

[The_Lady_Snow]

Scared of the things that people say
knowing my confidence might fail
I feel the world's weight upon my breaking back
I see uncertainty and the visible cracks

[PinkieLee]

But my, my I feel so low
my,my,where do I go?
my,my, what do I know?
my, my, we reap what we sow

They always said that you knew best but
This little bird's fallen out of that nest now
I've got a feeling that it might have been blessed so
I've just got to put these wings to test

[Selenay]

They tell him, "Take your time, it won't be long now
'Til you drag your feet to slow the circles down."

And the seasons, they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down;
We're captive on the carousel of time.
We can't return, we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game.

[PinkieLee]

She's got a bumper like a billboard
Covered in stickers of her favorite bands
She's got a handful of records that she turns to
When she needs to land
She's a Saturday night parade through the streets
That all eyes come to see including me

She carries memories around like souvenirs down in her pockets
She should have let some go by now but can't seem to drop it
Says forgiveness ain't nothing but a lifeless tire on the shoulder of her soul
That never rolls

For as much as she stumbled she's runnin'
For as much as she runs she's still here
Always hoping to find something quicker than heaven
To make the damage of her days disappear
Just like Guinevere

[Selenay]

Look like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same

Sittin here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home

[Selenay]

My heart's grown cold,
There's not much left.
My blood won't turn,
And I can see my breath.
She walks above, the angel's rule
Kicks the snow, feels like winter;
I'd do anything to just be with her,
Genevieve.

Well, the world won't turn,
The world won't turn,
The frames won't break,
And the letters won't burn.
The whole thing seems
Like Einstein's dreams;
See the smoke, start to shiver:
I'd do anything just to forget her.

[PinkieLee]

Sweet like a kiss sharp like a razor blade
I find you when I'm close to the bottom
You cant appreciate the time it takes
To kick a love I always knew was kind of wrong
And as I'm putting out the flame
Somebody brings up you name

Oh oh oh oh
Baby baby baby bring me down
I want to be right where you are
Baby baby baby bring me down
You can look me in the eye and break my heart
Break my heart

[Beau]

Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
Want to vanish inside your kiss
Everyday I love you more and more
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time

Come what may, come what may
I will love you until my dying day

:stillheart:

[PinkieLee]

I wanna make you smile
Whenever you're sad
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad
All I wanna do, is grow old with you

I'll get you medicine when your tummy aches
Build you a fire if the furnace breaks
So, it could be so nice growing old with you,....

I'll miss you
Kiss you
Give you my coat when you are cold
Need you
Feed you
Even let you hold the remote control.

So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink
Put you to bed when you've had too much to drink
Oh I could be the man that grows old with you
I wanna grow old with you.

[TROOPER]

The open wound
hy hides

Hy just keeps it bundled up
and never lets it show
Hy can't take much more
of this but hy can't let it go

And that's ok
Hy don't want the world.


And all the things hy said,
visions of her lying there
without someone to hear hys
cry

Hy slips off into
a dream about a
place to hide

And that's ok
Hy don't want the world.


This love hy feels
everything hy's ever
known or ever thought
was real

Seems like it's been
thrown away now
how's hy gonna live

It's ok. Hy don't
want the world.


Those words hy never
spoke
Hold a life of memories
of all the times before

Hy tried to show her
love... wishes hy could
have gave her more

But it's ok. Hy
don't want the world.


Softly in his sleep
pictures of a life hy's
longing forcelly appear

Hy's seen them all
before but somehow
never quite this clear

Hy just smiles
Hy don't want
the world.


This love hy feels
everything hy's ever
known or ever thought
was real

Seems like it's been
thrown away now
how's hy gonna live

It's ok. Hy don't
want the world.


A brand new morning
shines
Hy wakes up alone again
this time to face the day

Hy swears this time
to make it as hy
simply walks away

And that's ok
Hy don't want the world.


"you don't know
the PAIN
I FEEL
inside"

:praying:


All the precious time, oh, like the wind the years go by.
Precious butterfly, spread your wings and fly.

She'll change her name today, she'll make a promise, and I'll give her away.
Standing in the bridegroom just staring at her
She asks me what I'm thinking, and I said I'm not sure.
I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl, and she leaned over...

[Semantics]

I opened my eyes
While you were kissing me once, more than once
And you looked as sincere as a dog
Just as sincere as a dog does,
When it's the food on your lips with which it's in love

[Write14u]

I see you standin' there
You think you're so cool
Why don't you just
Fuck off

[violaine]

under the iron bridge we kissed
and although I ended up with sore lips
it just wasn't like
the old days anymore
no it wasn't like those days-

[The_Lady_Snow]

photographs and brightly colored paper are your mask you wear in this caper that is our life we walk right into the strife and a tear from your eye brings me home

[Write14u]

Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in south Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere

A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlights people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night

[Write14u]

I've done everything I can to forget
If there is a way, I ain't found it yet

I keep tellin' myself I'm movin' on
Believin' my heart was strong
But every step I take that leads me away
Just circles back to your door
Wishin' I didn't love you
What I'd give if I could touch you
Wishin' I didn't love you anymore

[Ms. Meander]

My hands are high
And I'm holding on, I'm holding out
And I figure that I
Figure that I just might make it
And I'm waking empty but seldom sleeping
And the words repeat breathing histories
Into stories untold but I unfold

See now quality is what you see now
In the corner of your eye
And don't be surprised
If you hear the bells ring
As they form from the sky

[Selenay]

His fist is big but my gun's bigger
He'll find out when I pull the trigger. . .

I'm goin' home, gonna load my shotgun
Wait by the door and light a cigarette
If he wants a fight, well, now he's got one
And he ain't seen me crazy yet.
He slapped my face and he shook me like a rag doll--
Don't that sound like a real man?
I'm going to show him what a little girl's made of:
Gunpowder and lead.

[Selenay]

I think that I think too hard
And I don't give enough credit to my heart

I'm so
Damn curious to know
And there are too
Many unanswered questions
That we hold onto

[Write14u]

Yeah, life throws you curves
But you learned to swerve
Me I swung and I missed
And the next thing ya know
I'm reminiscin' dreaming old dreams
Wishing old wishes
Like you would be back again

I wake up and tear drops
They fall down like rain
I put on that old song we danced to and then
I head off to my job
Guess not much has changed

Punch the clock
Head for home
Check the phone, just in case
Go to bed
Dream of you
That's what I'm doing these days

[PinkieLee]

Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break
Cause its all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you've had enough
You get mad, you get strong
Wipe your hands, shake it off
Then you stand

[Write14u]

I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you want to go,
And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.

[Selenay]

Tell me you love me,
Tell me you see me--
Show me your laughter
Oh, won't you feed me?
Tell me you love me,
I'll know what you need. . .

Oh baby, won't you raise your hand?
Raise your hand
And reach for me.

[ButchBowWow]

I know they say that you're a problem child
But you don't look so dangerous to me
Why don't you give 'em your shoes and let 'em walk for a mile, honey
Maybe they will see how it feels

Amazing how when you change your perspective
Certain myths come tumbling down
The things you hate in yourself are reflected
No one's to blame for the denial you've found

So just do what you want and don't do what you oughta
Do what you want and don't listen to order
And if you're thinking the end is in sight
Just remember you're still here tonight
So just do what you want and you'll be alright


Well now, who's the little girl with the tight dress on?
All the boys are going insane
Every other girl thinks she's looking too nasty
On Halloween they all dress the same

The social rules we accept like we're good sheep
Don't give me a reason to live
'Cause I intend to have fun while I'm down here
The more I have, well the more I can give

[violaine]

and today is the day
we break free

it's clear in my mind
after all of this time
what i fee my love

there are so many times
that the sun doesn't shine
but i'm here my love

and today is the day

maybe i should wait
just a minute or two
it's getting cold now
i feel so insecure

the future is a mistress
that is so hard to please
and the past
is a pebble in my shoe

-- poe/today

[Nina]

I have a little list
I have a little list
of people I can do without
who never will be missed
they never will be missed

I have a little list

;>

[Dragonfly]

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no
On their vacancy signs
If theres no one beside you
When your soul embarks
I'll follow you into the dark...

[Write14u]

Someday love will find you
Break those chains that bind you
One night will remind you
How we touched and went our seperate ways
If he ever hurts you
True love won't desert you
You know I still love you
Though we touched and went our seperate ways

[ButchBowWow]

There's no answer that comes easy
When you ask me what I fear
I am ill-equipped to tell you
You are ill-equipped to hear

Take for instance my aggression
The warning's you neglect to heed
When in fact it draws you closer
Because it's just the thing you need

Don't tell me what you think I'm thinking of

[Write14u]

Hello
I've waited here for you
Everlong

[Leigh]

Been up all night staring at you
Wondering what's on your mind
I've been this way with so many before
But this feels like the first time
You want the sunrise to go back to bed

I want to make you laugh
Mess up my bed with me
Kick off the covers i'm waiting
Every word you say i think
I should write down
Don't want to forget come daylight

Happy to lay here
Just happy to be here
I'm happy to know you
Play me a song
Your newest one
Please leave your taste on my tongue

[Liquefaction]

I'll give you all the things that I never get
Give you all I have and have no regret
Take you to the places that I've never been

Forgive you all the things that you can't forget
Take away the pain with my healing hands
Wash away your sins and set your spirit free

[Write14u]

You're not sure that you love me
But you're not sure enough to let me go
Baby it ain't fair you know
To just keep me hangin' 'round

You say you don't wanna hurt me
Don't want to see my tears
So why are you still standing here
Just watching me drown

And it's alright, yeah I'll be fine
Don't worry 'bout this heart of mine
Just take your love and hit the road
There's nothing you can do or say
You're gonna break my heart anyway
So just leave the pieces when you go

[Write14u]

Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune, but I hear the voices say:

Carry on my wayward son,
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more NO!

Carry on, you will always remember
Carry on, nothing equals the splendor
Now your life's no longer empty
Surely heaven waits for you

[robbrt]

There's a woman with a mustache who wont let me be
Though she was born on a Monday she's a hundred and four
She's a liar she's a liar and a little bit more

[ButchBowWow]

It's been a long, long time
Since I've been away
Been a long, long time
Since I've felt this way
Been a long, long time
I found the words to say
How much I'm grateful
For my life today

'Cause under every cup
You might find a nut
Behind every corner
You might get jacked up
At the end of every rainbow
You might find gold
The last bite of your sandwich
Hope you don't find mold

'Cause none of us
Can live the perfect life
The kind that we see on Nick at Night
And sometimes we all
Just lose sight
Of the pain that will guide us
From the dark into the light

[Write14u]

She was a fast machine
She kept her motor clean
She was the best damn woman that I ever seen
She had the sightless eyes
Tellin' me no lies
Knockin' me out with those American thighs
Takin' more than her share
Had me fighting for air
She told me to come but I was already there
'Cause the walls start shaking
The earth was quakin'
My mind was achin'
And we were makin' it and you -

Shook me all night long
Yeah you shook me all night long

[Soft*Silver]

September morn

We danced until the night became a brand new day

Two lovers playing scenes from some romantic play

September morning still can make me feel that way

[SuperFemme]

"When It Don't Come Easy"

Red lights are flashing on the highway
I wonder if we're gonna ever get home
I wonder if we're gonna ever get home tonight
Everywhere the waters getting rough
Your best intentions may not be enough
I wonder if we're gonna ever get home tonight

But if you break down
I'll drive out and find you
If you forget my love
I'll try to remind you
And stay by you when it don't come easy

I don't know nothing except change will come
Year after year what we do is undone
Time keeps moving from a crawl to a run
I wonder if we're gonna ever get home

You're out there walking down a highway
And all of the signs got blown away
Sometimes you wonder if you're walking in the wrong direction

But if you break down
I'll drive out and find you
If you forget my love
I'll try to remind you
And stay by you when it don't come easy

So many things that I had before
That don't matter to me now
Tonight I cry for the love that I've lost
And the love I've never found
When the last bird falls
And the last siren sounds
Someone will say what's been said before
Some love we were looking for

But if you break down
I'll drive out and find you
If you forget my love
I'll try to remind you

And stay by you when it don't come easy

[violaine]

I am color...blind
Coffee black and egg white
Pull me out from inside
I am ready
I am ready
I am ready
I am
taffy stuck, tongue tied
Stuttered shook and uptight
Pull me out from inside
I am ready
I am ready
I am ready
I am...fine
I am covered in skin
No one gets to come in
Pull me out from inside
I am folded, and unfolded, and unfolding
I am
colorblind
Coffee black and egg white
Pull me out from inside
I am ready
I am ready
I am ready
I am...fine
I am.... fine


I am fine

[Write14u]

What I'd give to bring you flowers.
What I'd give to get you alone.
What I'd give to bring a smile across your face.
What I'd give to take you home.
What I'd give to make you coffee.
Find out how you like your eggs.
Wrapped around you in the mornin'.
A tangled lace of arms and legs.

She Won't Be Lonely Long ~ Clay Walker

Somethin bout the way she’s wearing her dress a little tighter
Somethin bout the way she’s starin, she’s lookin to start a fire
Somethin bout the way she’s dancin and drinkin chill patron
If she’s lonely now she won’t be lonely long

Heaven help the fool who did her wrong
It’s too late, too bad, she’s too far gone
He should’ve thought of that before he left her all alone
If she’s lonely now, she won’t be lonely long

Somethin bout the way she’s blushin you can tell she isn’t sure
Let you know she’s up to something she’s never done before
Tonight she wants to hold a stranger but not the one at home
If she’s lonely now she won’t be lonely long

Heaven help the fool who did her wrong
It’s too late, too bad, she’s too far gone
He should’ve thought of that before he left her all alone
If she’s lonely now, she won’t be lonely long

If I had a woman like that
Man I’d let her know
I’d hold her tight
I’d hold her close
Do anything, do everything to let her know
She’d never ever be alone

Heaven help the fool who did her wrong
It’s too late, too bad, she’s too far gone
He should’ve thought of that before he left her all alone
If she’s lonely now, lord if she’s lonely now
If she’s lonely now, she won’t be lonely long

[violaine]

... day comes up sicker than a cat
something's wrong that is that

a boat from the river takes you out
'cross the other side of town, to get out, to get out
you take the tide, any tide, any tide
like there isn't gonna be any tide

a world like tomorrow wears things out
it's hard enough to get what's yours for now
and the hardest words are spoken softly
softly look, no hands upon...

[zannadyke]

what a wicked game you play
to make me feel this way
what a wicked thing you do
to make me dream of you
what a wicked thing to say
you never felt this way
what a wicked thing to do
to make me dream of you...

[Charming Texan]

You are my Manhattan from the sky
You look so neat and tidy when I’m way up high,
But I know your streets are lined with a fine mess inside
And I wanna come down and walk around your mind

[Rook]

You took your coat off and stood in the rain.
You're always crazy like that.
I watched from my window, always felt I was outside
looking in on you.
You were always the mysterious one with
dark eyes and careless hair you were
fashionably sensitive but too cool to care.
You stood in my doorway, you got nothin to say
besides some comment on the weather

Well in case you failed to notice, in case you failed to see.
This is my heart, bleeding before you.
This is me down on my knees.
And these foolish games are tearing me apart.
And your thoughtless words are breaking my heart.
Breaking my heart...

You're always brilliant in the morning
You're smoking your cigarettes
And talking over coffee.
Your philosophies on art, Baroque moved you, you loved Mozart.
And you speak of your loved ones
as I clumsily strum my guitar.

Well excuse me, guess I've mistaken you for somebody else.
Somebody who gave a damn, somebody more like myself.
And these foolish games are tearing me, tearing me, tearing me apart.
And your thoughtless words are breaking my heart...
You're breaking my heart.

:twitch:

[Charming Texan]

I've lost the use of my heart
But I'm still alive
Still looking for the life
The endless pool on the other side
It's a wild wild west
I'm doing my best

I'm at the borderline of my faith,
I'm at the hinterland of my devotion
In the frontline of this battle of mine
But I'm still alive

[violaine]

... Your glance felt
like a knife
so clear, so blue
i was swimming inside
i was swimming inside

You'll always be
real to me
i took one look
i could fly away
stare, stare
in your all seeing eyes
till starlight ...

[leatherfaery]

I need someone a person to talk to
someone who'd care to love
could it be you could it be you
situation gets rough then I start to panic
it's not enough it's just a habit
hey kid you're sick well darling this is it
you can all just kiss off into the air
behind my back I can see them stare
they'll hurt me bad but I won't mind
they'll hurt me bad they do it all the time
yeah yeah they do it all the time
yeah yeah they do it all the time
yeah yeah they do it all the time
yeah yeah they do it all the time
I hope you know this will go down
on your permanent record
oh yeah well don't get so distressed
did I happen to mention that I'm impressed
I take one one one cause you left me and
two two two for my family and
3 3 3 for my heartache and
4 4 4 for my headaches and
5 5 5 for my loneliness and
6 6 6 for my sorrow and
7 7 for no tomorrow and
8 8 I forget what 8 was for and
9 9 9 for a lost god and
10 10 10 10 for everything everything everything everything
you can all just kiss off into the air
behind my back I can see them stare
they'll hurt me bad but I won't mind

yeah yeah,yeah they do it all the time
yeah yeah,yeah they do it all the time
do it all the time
do it all the time

[Rook]

Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I stay up and think of you and I wish on a star
That somewhere you are thinking of me too

'Cause I'm dreaming of you tonight
'Til tomorrow I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Than here in my room dreaming about you and me

Wonder if you ever see me and I wonder if you
Know I'm there (Am I there)
If you looked in my eyes would you see what's inside
Would you even care

I just wanna hold you close but so far
All I have are dreams of you
So I wait for the day and the courage to say
How much I love you, yes i do

:bouquet:

[Charming Texan]

You cool your bedwarm hands down
On the broken radiator

When you lay them freezing on me
I mumble can you wake me later

But I don't really want you to stop
And you know it so it doesn't stop you

You run your hands from my neck
To my chest

Crack the shutters open wide
I want to bathe you in the light of day

And just watch you as the rays
Tangle up around your face and body

I could sit here for hours
Finding new ways to be awed each minute

'Cause the daylight seems to want you
Just as much as I want you

Its been minutes Its been days,
I remember all I will remember

Happy lost in your hair
And the cold side of the pillow

Your hills and valleys
Are mapped by my intrepid fingers

And in a naked slumber
I dream all this again

[Write14u]

I wanna fuck you like an animal
I wanna feel you from the inside
I wanna fuck you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed

[violaine]

... Believe, believe in me, believe
In the resolute urgency of now
And if you believe there's not a chance tonight
Tonight, so bright
Tonight
We'll crucify the insincere tonight
We'll make things right, we'll feel it all tonight
We'll find a way to offer up the night tonight
The indescribable moments of your life tonight
The impossible is possible tonight
Believe in me as I believe in you, tonight...

[Charming Texan]

I want to hold the hand inside you
I want to take a breath that's true
I look to you and I see nothing
I look to you to see the truth
You live your life
You go in shadows
You'll come apart and you'll go black
Some kind of night into your darkness
Colors your eyes with what's not there

Feelin' Love ~ Paula Cole

you make me feel like a sticky pistil
leaning into a stamen
you make me feel like a mr. sunshine
himself
you make me feel like splendor in the grass
while we're rollin'
damn skippy baby
you make me feel like the amazon's runnin' between
the thighs

CHORUS:
you make me feel loved, loved, loved, loved, loved
loved, loved, loved, loved, loved
you make me feel loved, loved, loved, loved, loved
loved, loved, loved, loved

you make me feel like a candy apple
red and horny
you make me feel like i wanna be a dumb blonde
in a centerfold, the girl next door
and i would open the door and
i'd be all wet and
with my tits soaking through this tiny felt t-shirt
an I would pray that you would
open the door and tie me up to the bed

chorus

loved, but i don't know who i am
am i the great(?) white
am i hot inside
what would i place with your hot conscious(?)
i will be your death, the moonlight

you make me feel (3 times)
you make me feel loved

[MrSunshine]

love, let me sleep tonight on your couch
and remember the smell of the fabric
of your simple city dress

oh... that was so real

we walked around til the moon got full like a plate
the wind blew an invocation and i fell asleep at the gate
and i never stepped on the cracks 'cause i thought i'd hurt my mother
and i couldn't awake from the nightmare that sucked me in and pulled me under
pulled me under

oh... that was so real

i love you, but i'm afraid to love you
i love you, but i'm afraid to love you
i'm afraid. . .

oh... that was so real

[MrSunshine]

broken down and hungry for your love with no way to feed it
where are you tonight, child you know how much i need it
too young to hold on and too old to just break free and run

sometimes a man gets carried away, when he feels like he should be having his fun
and much too blind to see the damage he's done
sometimes a man must awake to find that really, he has no-one

so i'll wait for you... and i'll burn
will i ever see your sweet return
oh will i ever learn

oh lover, you should've come over
'cause it's not too late

[zannadyke]

We'll get some overhead lifters and some four barrel quads
oh yeah

A fuel injection cutoff and chrome plated rods oh yeah

With a four speed on the floor they'll be waiting at the door

You know that ain't no shit we'll be getting lots of tit

In Grease Lightning

in response to my car not starting today... perhaps it needs a "tune up" lol

[violaine]

..do you hear me?
do you care?
do you hear me?
do you care?

my lips are moving but no sounds coming out
the words are audible but i have my doubts
that you realise what has been said

You look at me as if you're in a daze
it's like the feeling at the end of the page when you realise
You don't know what you just read...

[Charming Texan]

Way up north i took my day
All in all was a pretty nice
Day and i put the hood
Right back where
You could taste heaven
Perfectly
Feel out the summer breeze
Didn't know when we'd be back
And i, i don't
Didn't think
We'd end up like
Like this

[violaine]

And the morning lasted all day,
All day
And through an open window came
Like Sinatra in a younger day,
Pushing the town away
Ah -

They sat on the stoney ground
And he took a cigarette out
And everyone else came down
To listen.
He said "In winter 1963
It felt like the world would freeze
With John F. Kennedy
And the Beatles."

The evening had turned to rain
Watch the water roll down the drain,
As we followed him down
To the station
And though he never would wave goodbye,
You could see it written in his eyes
As the train rolled out of sight

[PinkieLee]

She's got a bumper like a billboard
Covered in stickers of her favorite band
She's got a handful of records that she turns to
When she needs to land
She's a saturday night parade through the streets
That all eyes some to see
including me

She carries memories around like souvenirs down in her pockets
She should have let some go by now but can't seem to drop it
Says forgiveness ain't nothing but a lifeless tire on the shoulder of her soul
That never rolls

For as much as she stumbled she's runnin'
For as much as she runs she's still here
Always hoping to find something quicker than heaven
To make the damage of her days disappear
Just like Guinevere

[violaine]

...the day i stop
is the day you change
and fly away from me

you flicker
and you're beautiful
you glow inside my head
you hold me hypnotized
i'm mesmerized...

your flames
the flames that kiss me dead
dust my lemon lies
with powder pink and sweet...

:farmtree:

[Charming Texan]

If you want it
Come and get it
Crying out loud
The love that I was
Giving you was
Never in doubt
And feel it now
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now

[violaine]

...the further we go
and older we grow
the more we know ...
the less we show ...

the very first time I saw your face
i thought of a song
and quickly changed the tune
the very first time I touched your skin
i thought of a story
and rushed to reach the end
too soon...
